Im starting to gather together myself ArP gear.
Hopefully will get some drops this week, Saronite Mesh Legguards and a new weapon would be very helpful!

Hi malennas, as I see from your build your spec with IHM. As SV I spec with IHM w/ glyph but it gimped my DPS, thus MM benifit more w/ this spec than SV? And I saw you didn't have point in rapid recup. With bosses fight in ulduar that takes a long time to kill don't you get OOM? And your DPS w/ XT is that as MM or SV. I really haven't tried to gauge my DPS w/ XT coz I'm always assigned to the adds at the back

The only real fight that I have mana issues with is Vezax. Other then that, I finish most fights with 3/4 mana or finish the fight just as I go OOM. Really depends on the night. I rarely go into Viper however.
I specc'd for IHM/glyph to bring buffs to the other 2 hunters in my guild. A gimp for myself true, however raid dps goes up from it, same can get said for TSA.
I always raid as MM these days, I keep SV for dailies, however going to spec that for pure personal MM dps, and test that with ArP gear.

A noob question, what raid composition you must have not to get OOM? Shammy mana totem, inervate and what? Coz even w/ emalon I get OOM sometimes. I don't have points in TSA too

Ret pallies are the main one, sv hunters come in a close 2nd.
I cant really say as to what raid setup is best, however, we usually run with a ret pally and 2 sv hunters, so mana is not an issue.

forgive my noobiness :) but what does ret pally gives? i know pally buff bout blessing of wisdom but w/ all that i still get OOM. yes a SV hunter and 2 of them might be good

Judgement of Wisdom / Blessing of Sanctuary
Having 4 or so pallies in a group = win

Every single person is in a different situation.
If you are in a guild, and said guild has a specific raiding setup, then work it out with your guild (namely the other hunters) as to what will work out best.
If you dont need to worry about mana regen, then spec for pure dps. If you dont need to worry about bringing TSA, then dont spec for it (i do, and will, even with the new personal dps spec I am working on, it is 100% up time afterall).
Find what works for you and the people you play with.

Ret Pallies help us out alot. With
Judgement of Wisdom
&
Judgements of the Wise
they keep
Replenishment
up 100% of the fight. If a Druid is using their
Innervate
on us you seriously need to look at the Druid and ask them WTF they are doing. Also, as most of our DPS DK's have gone to the Unholy side (top DPS spec atm)
Abomination's Might
is less and less in use which makes TSA a better investment (not to mention we have 100% uptime).

Cool, that's similar to the spec I'm currently using for MM.

Unholy is top DPS now? Meters usually show Blood or Frost (lol frost strike runedump for 15k), but ok...
Anyway...
Been using ArP gear and consumables for two weeks now and I'm pretty happy with it. It's not as good for Hodir and Vezax, but for the rest it's pretty nice.
It also makes the rotation much easier (we actually have a rotation, Chim, Aimed, 4x Steady or 5x if haste effects are up), without the odd CD of arcane turning our rotation on whack-a-mole style.

So, your excluding Arcane altogether. I wonder what your actual DPS is like? Are you bringing any raid buffs, or just running with a personal dps build?
